Chord Members: Table 1 provides chord section properties and Table provides allowable chord stresses. The top chords of the Open-Web trusses are designed as continuous members subject to combined axial and bending stresses. The bottom chords are designed as axially loaded tension members, provided ceilings that are directly applied to the chords, or stripping are spaced not more than 4 inches (10 mm) on center, and do not weigh more than 5 psf (0.4 kn/m ). For other conditions, the bottom chords are designed as continuous members subject to combined axial tension and bending stresses. 4.
